"She summoned Amazoness Empress on the very first turn?" Bastion Misawa said, his face full of shock.
"This member of the Shadow Riders is indeed much stronger than the previous ones," Chazz Princeton muttered, his brow furrowed. The difference in pressure was palpable.
Of course, they didn't know that it was because this Tania was a Nightmare-level opponent. Consequently, her opening moves were lethal from the very start!
"Not only that, as long as Amazoness Empress is on the field, other Amazoness cards cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects. Furthermore, if the Empress is destroyed, she can Special Summon Amazoness Queen from the hand or Graveyard. This is an extremely disadvantageous start for You Feng." Alexis Rhodes crossed her arms, unable to hide her worry.
"I know you've defeated two other Shadow Riders, but if that's made you arrogant, then prepare to be taught a lesson today! From my hand, I activate the Spell Card, Pot of Greed, allowing me to draw two more cards from my deck."
"Then, I Set one card and end my turn!" Tania wore a playful smile, as if You Feng was already a bird in her cage. Her current opening hand was the ultimate "God Hand" for her deck, which was why she was so gleeful.
"Watashi no Turn..." You Feng drew a card, the corner of his mouth curling upward.
Since being possessed by Holactie the Creator of Light, You Feng possessed telepathic abilities. He could see right through Tania's face-down card and knew exactly what her next move would be.
"What's the fastest you've ever lost a duel?" You Feng asked calmly. Tania froze.
"Are you joking? I've never tasted the bitterness of defeat!" Tania snapped, her face flushing with anger. This guy was incredibly arrogant. She was a member of the Shadow Riders, yet he treated her with such disdain.
"Is that so..." You Feng smiled and said no more.
A faint, holy light seemed to swirl around his body, and an elegant, refined aura emanated from him.
"First, I summon a monster from my hand: Royal Magical Library." You Feng flipped a card between two fingers. His golden pupils were mesmerizing, threatening to pull anyone who looked too closely into their depths.
A grand library appeared in the Monster Zone, holy and looking as if it possessed a life of its own.
Royal Magical Library
LIGHT Attribute / Level 4 / Spellcaster-Type
ATK 0 / DEF 2000
"While this card is on the field, each time a Spell Card is activated, place one Spell Counter on this card. From my hand, I activate Pot of Greed. I draw two cards from my deck, and Royal Magical Library gains a Spell Counter." You Feng still held six cards in his hand.
"At the same time, I activate Graceful Charity from my hand. I draw three cards, choose one to add to my hand, and discard the other two to the Graveyard. Royal Magical Library gains another Spell Counter."
"Next, I activate Monster Reborn from my hand to resurrect Ra's Disciple from my Graveyard!" You Feng's golden eyes seemed to pierce through the world itself; everything stood exposed before him.
Ra's Disciple rose from the Graveyard, clad in golden battle armor.
"Simultaneously, I place another Spell Counter on Royal Magical Library."
"Furthermore, when Ra's Disciple is successfully Special Summoned, I can Special Summon up to two more copies of Ra's Disciple from my deck." You Feng smiled. Amidst a burst of golden light, two more disciples of the Sun God appeared on the field, kneeling in submission.
"Ra's Disciple? Masaka!" Tania watched this unfold, her face turning pale with horror. She seemed to realize something, and her entire body began to tremble.
It wasn't just Tania; Alexis, Jaden, and the others were also struck with terror. Was this the rhythm to summon the Three Egyptian Gods?
But there was only one person who owned the Three Egyptian Gods!
That was the Legendary Duelist, You Feng!
"Could it be... is this You Feng really the one who turned the tides at Duelist Kingdom and defeated Maximillion Pegasus? The same You Feng who faced Marik Ishtar and The Winged Dragon of Ra in a duel in the sky and ultimately won against all odds?"
Alexis's heart hammered in her chest. You Feng's legendary dueling life was a staple of Duel Academy's propaganda and imitation, having been deified long ago.
What Alexis hadn't expected was that her idolthe person she had always longed to meetwas right by her side. She had already developed mysterious feelings for him, and knowing this staggering truth only intensified those emotions by several levels.
Her heart felt like a jar of mixed spices that had been knocked over, leaving her with a taste she couldn't describe.
"You Feng is... the Legendary Duelist?!" Jaden Yuki stared blankly, his shock evident.
